What risks are involved in body piercing? According to the American Academy of Dermatology, one in seven people aged 18 to 50 have piercings in places other than their earlobes. Considering the popularity of body piercings, complications are rare. However, there are serious risks involved with any body art, and it's important to be well-informed. The problem most commonly associated with body piercings is infection, typically resulting from poor home treatment. Be sure to follow directions given by the piercing or tattoo parlor.
